Frequently Asked Questions
What is SSH login capacity?
SSH login capacity refers to the maximum number of simultaneous secure shell (SSH) connections that a network device or system can handle. Exceeding this limit can prevent new logins.
Why would a business need to increase SSH login capacity?
Businesses need to increase capacity when their network management activities, the number of administrators, or the use of automated tools require more concurrent SSH sessions than the current license allows. This prevents operational disruptions.
Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?
This is a subscription-based license, meaning you pay a recurring fee for the entitlement to increased SSH login capacity over a defined term.
